@Searskii@LRHN_Cash Parenting doesn’t come with a fixed script, because the role already has built-in boundaries. You might not always know the exact right move, but it’s obvious what crosses the line. Hitting a child is one of those things, it’s not a ‘wrong option,’ it’s outside the role entirely.
@CarrFax901@LRHN_Cash You on here trying to justify putting hands on a child. That’s not a defense; it’s a confession that you're a bully who makes a kid the enemy just to feel in control. Keep that same energy when you realize the only thing you’ve taught them is how to survive you.
@jejsohehsi85412@LRHN_Cash He could have given him a million chances, but if you have to put your hands on a child as an adult, you’ve failed yourself. Using "chances" to justify your lack of control is just a weak excuse for a character failure. It isn't a lesson; it's cowardice.
@Your_Hi_nes307@LRHN_Cash It made enough sense for you to go out of your way to respond to it. You’re trying to dismiss the point, but your engagement exposes that you felt the need to defend the behavior.
You don’t want it to make sense.
Clarity is a choice.
@lovepretty_toes@JohnGalind9uek@LRHN_Cash You probably got turned on seeing him get punched in the chest. It's pathetic how you're using your own history to justify someone else's lack of control, and finding entertainment in a child getting hit is a level of cowardice that is impossible to look past champ.
@SJabzz@Bjld4life1@LRHN_Cash Is that what happened to you? Is that why you're so angry? You're so quick to call for prison or state violence against a child because you can’t handle a critique of the abuse you clearly support. You need to focus on you not him.
Projection is a hell of a drug.
@_zbunch@LRHN_Cash Exactly. No parent needs to record themselves parenting. A grown-up was already weak for beating a child, but doing it for the camera is performative weakness.
@_zbunch@LRHN_Cash I never said they were synonymous. You assumed that because my comment threatened your ego. You reacted out of guilt, adding that performative “walks on water” bit just to cope. That wasn’t an argument; it was a desperate confession to justify doing the same to your own kid.
@Slimboy83Pe@LRHN_Cash You're screaming 'he just liar!!!!' like it’s a revelation, but you're missing the entire point…
The kid is lying because of the environment you're defending. If you actually had a point to make, you’d address why a child is terrified enough to lie instead of just shouting.
@granted_access@LRHN_Cash I don’t need to live with that family to see what the father records for the world. I’m not judging anyone; I’m observing shit for what it is. You beat a child because you lack self-control, and trying to hide behind 'grace' doesn't change the fact that you're just failing teachn
@JeanetteWi94495@LRHN_Cash Wait, so now you care about first-hand testimony? Your first post was a generalization about 'children' that you obviously didn't *see* all of. You're deflecting because you got cooked and can't defend the logic of hitting kids as a teaching tool. That's who's being shallow.
@MoonmonkeyMadre@LRHN_Cash You’re using ur grandkids lying to justify physical discipline but that logic is backwards. If they’re lying without the threat of force, it proves fear isn't the root of dishonesty a lack of trust is. Defending violence just shows you don't know how to build actual transparency
@never_pluz1@LRHN_Cash You're calling it 'character,' but what you're describing is the adaptation of a child learning to avoid pain. If you only 'got your shit together' to escape a whooping, you didn't learn accountability, you learned how to satisfy someone else's demand to avoid a negative outcome
@kwy162168@LRHN_Cash You're arguing that the child 'chose his punishment, but that's just a way to deflect from the parent's failure. If you think the only way to teach accountability is through escalating force, you're admitting you don't know how to lead, you only know how to coerce.
@Searskii@LRHN_Cash I never brought up right or wrong, that’s subjective. My personal approach is also subjective, it’s not about me. It’s about what’s logically necessary for the child.
Physical force is never needed for development. A leader doesn’t beat people into submission so they listen.
@Rickybones14@LRHN_Cash You started with questions, and when you couldn’t handle the pushback, you retreated to a meme like a child. You aren't built for mature discourse. Resorting to gifs instead of addressing your lack of emotional regulation is just a pathetic confession that you’re hollow.
